Ringing on the Cape Peninsula

The aim of the ringing is to study survival and movements of Cape and Southern Masked Weavers on the Cape Peninsula, but all species that are caught are ringed. Anyone can come to watch or to learn to become a bird ringer. Ringing events on the Cape Peninsula are shown on the calendar. Ringing at Rondevlei is a fixed event (see more below). (If you are not familiar with Google Calendar, see hints below.)

If no ringing session is marked for a particular Saturday, I may be travelling - see Events.

Note: In 2012 most of my ringing will be on Saturday mornings from sunrise until about mid morning, but you can come at any time. Many of the sites are in public areas with no facilities. Bring your own chair, hat, and refreshments. Ringing will be cancelled if it is raining.

Date & time: on the second Saturday of the month, 8am - about noon. Ringing will be cancelled if it is raining or during high winds.
This ringing is an Arocha project.
